Henry is gone, what can we do. I just hope it doesn't get worse from here on. The media are linking martins, owen and Anelka to us.

danniecool:
Women, I pick Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams in the final

I love watching both of them play

Like to see them both too. Federer is clearly the favorite again by far, but you never know this year might just be different.

mukina2:



I am so shocked and confused

i'll wait till Monday

better come to terms with it now than later, it will just be too painful seeing him in barca colours come monday.

Just overcoming the reality Henry won't be with us next season but 16 million, thats ridiculous they could've done better.

we should be looking ahead now, Babel is eager to join us.

debosky:
they never get it wrong? dude please, if you said BBC I may have believed, but those sky people are just rebroadcasting what they got from Spain.

I'm still waiting to hear from my preferred sources, - arseblog and Myles Palmer.

You might have to wait longer then mate.

debosky:
dino what is your source? hope its not those shady spanish radio stations

Sky sports news and they never get it wrong. But its not official yet.

Barcelona fc claim they have agreed a £16million fee with Arsenal for henry, its now left for Arsenal to confirm.

@mukina, its only a matter of time before everything is confirmed.

Check this out. They're hoping to unveil him as a Barca player as soon as Monday.

trust me it looks like the real deal now, I'm going crazy.

they now say its £24 million

Things are looking bad for us Spanish sources say henry has signed for barca and Wenger is in the shortlist of managers for Real if Capello is sacked.

Spanish radio report Henry has signed a four year deal worth £16 million pounds with Barca. This is the same station that first reported that beckham had moved to real madrid. Barca officials say they will neither confirm nor deny this until everything is complete.

Seems this film is going to be brutal, heard the Guy got injured while doing some scenes of the film. Look forward to seeing it.

iice:

I wish he'd go back to those Axel Foley days

Yeah, Beverly Hills Cop is my number one comedy flick. Classic .

Vieira:
My guess is either Ben or Locke

Heres a weird theory, the person in the coffin is someone we haven't seen yet maybe the person who will eventually kill Sawyer which will explain Kate's reaction when she was with Jack in the flash forward scene but this will raise another question why will Jack feel so bad about it, so it might just be Locke or Sawyer. So many theories and speculations, wondering how i'm gonna stay spoiler free till february.

Heroes is great, Monk is cool too, watched the first season a couple of years back, Monk is a very interesting character didn't know it was still running. Haven't heard of the other two. There are so many shows these days its hard catching up with all of them. Hey anyone watching supernatural, i think its cool reminds me of the days of Angel.

Seriously was it any good, the preview alone was enough to put me off.

The BBC is very biased about what they give out. This doesn't relate to their news channel but commentaries during sport competetions tends to be very one sided. The commentators pick one player to support and ridicule the other opponent. Very unprofessional sometimes it annoys me up to the extent I mute the sound.

iice:
Hahaha indeed, tis why they are brits. I do love watching 'talking movies' very few movies meet their standards aside of course for their own movies

Yeah all their films are like classics even when it's obvious some are crap.

Trust me, no way we'll learn from anything. It will go on and on.

the goal part is when I wake up. The portuguese and spanish are the most exciting, come to think of it the italians too. Back when Obagol was still in Inter milan they'll shout OBA for like forever after he scores.

If you're talking about the latest installment, it was shite as far as I was concerned nothing special but great visuals. The first one was the best for me followed by the second. But don't be put down by my comments because there were mixed views of the film. Some liked it and some didn't, so just keep your expectations high.

Locke is my second. For those who have seen the season 3 finale who do you think was in that coffin?

mukina2:


no be only me?

for me its mainly the arabic commentary that makes me sleepy the commentators screaming

its true about arabic commentaries, back in the days when i watched the premiership weekend games on arabian channels there was no day i didn't sleep, the commentaries were like very effective sleeping pills.

Nadal all the way

Didn't know there was a lost thread here, lost is the greatest show ever. The season 3 finale was awesome if you haven't watched it before, grab the the first season now. The pilot episode is enough to get u hooked. Trust me you'll watch the 3 seasons within a week. Too bad we'll have to wait till february 2008 for season 4. My favorite character is Jack.

I don't know if this has been done before but as the topic says which premiership player were you most impressed with last season. For me it was Drogba, he was simply sensational last season contributed immensely to Chelsea's success by scoring the winning goals in both the carling cup and fa cup final and finishing as the top goal scorer in the premiership. He also contributed in other aspects; playing defensive roles notably by heading the ball away during corner kicks and setting up goals for his teamates.

Onigbinde is a coach with a good record with 3sc and the national team in the eighties. Having said that I think he is a big mouth coach that destroyed any hopes we had in the 2002 world cup. He started the downfall of the super eagles, who no fit bring 3sc from division 2. Coach of coaches my foot.
